Call No One on Earth Your Father

Theology

“I read Josephine Armour’s book, Call No One on Earth Your Father, with delight. It is very well written, very well argued, and very well researched. She critically examines the various arguments used by Catholic theologians to exclude women from the priesthood and finds them all unpersuasive. Positively, her argument is that women must be included in the leadership of the church for the health and well-being of the church. . . . What is so important to note is that men in power in both traditions have developed separate, irreconcilable, and tendentious arguments to exclude women from what they consider to be the most important ministry in the life of the church; for Catholics presiding at the Eucharist as a priest, and for evangelicals preaching the Word of God as a pastor.”

Resurrecting the Trinity

Theology

“Sawyer presents a very lively account of the Trinity, not as abstract theology, but as an explanation of how the one God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, three divine persons. He has read widely, writes eloquently, and constantly interacts with modern culture. I was pleased to see he rejects any hierarchical ordering in the Trinity, affirming unambiguously that the three persons are ‘co-equal’ God, as the Athanasian Creed asserts.”

Spirit, Freedom and Power

Theology

“In Spirit Freedom and Power, Angelo Cettolin has written a fascinating account of the tensions within the Pentecostal church in the early twenty-first century. The question he believes has to be answered is, will the Pentecostal church keep faithful to its radical origins as a renewal movement within Christianity--one that attracts worshipers by its vital communal life, openness to exercising spiritual gifts, and global involvement--or become a safe, settled middle-class church?”

The Son Who Learned Obedience

Theology

“In The Son Who Learned Obedience, Glenn Butner establishes himself as a very competent evangelical theologian. . . . Butner’s grasp of historic orthodoxy and of the doctrines he discusses is impressive. I cannot recommend this book too highly.”
